Psalms 53
53
To the Overseer. — ‘On a disease.’ — An instruction, by David.
1A fool said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good — not even one.
4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
5There they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!

Psalms 53
53
Psalm 53#In Hebrew texts 53:1-6 is numbered 53:2-7.
For the director of music. According to mahalath.#Title: Probably a musical term A maskil#Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David.
1The fool says in his heart,
‘There is no God.’
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no-one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no-one who does good,
not even one.
4Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
